Chapter 429 Another Side Quest

Jian Xiao sighed, and resigned herself to searching in convenience stores.

She chose the order of indoors first, then outdoors, entered the convenience store, started from the leftmost shelf, and looked carefully and seriously.

The shelves are plentiful——

In the first row, daily necessities such as toothbrush and toothpaste, soap soap, washing powder and shower gel, sanitary napkins, etc.

In the second row, there are pencils, pens, water-based pens, colored crayons, marker pens, eraser calculators, notebooks and other school supplies.

In the third row, Nongfu Xianquan, Wuwawa mineral water, and various drinks.

In the fourth row, snacks such as spicy strips, dried tofu, shredded squid, duck neck, cotton candy, and hawthorn slices.

The fifth row, kitchen seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pepper, chili powder, etc.

……

There are ten rows in total, and each row is full of different kinds of things.

Jian Xiao originally thought that the program team would post a logo or make a mark on the special task items, so as to remind the guests.

Unexpectedly, the dog program group is not a human being, and there is no hint.

From the outer packaging, those products looked exactly the same as those in the supermarket outside, forcing Jian Xiao to hold the products one by one in his hand and examine them carefully.

Only when you really look at it with your hands can you find something is wrong.

For example, in the stationery area in the second row, there are several brand new notebooks, the sides of which are painted with black water-based pens.

Of course, when the notebook is placed on the shelf, there is nothing wrong with it from the front. Only when you hold the notebook in your hand and turn it over and over, can you see the marks painted with black pen on the side.

Jian Xiao put together several notebooks and concentrated on studying the black marks.

But after looking at it for a while, I found that there was no clue, and it had nothing to do with her leaf clues, and it had nothing to do with Rubik's Cube clues.

There is a basis for Jian Xiao to come to this judgment——

Her initial clue was a card with a leaf on it; the second chessboard endgame, the tree in the yard, also had the same leaf; the jade pendant she got was also in the shape of a leaf.

Based on this, she can infer that the same clue will have an obvious sign, allowing the guests to connect the clues together.

Otherwise, 100 people have [-] initial clues. If there is no basis for discrimination, it will be easy to get confused.

Therefore, if she wants to advance to the next step of the Rubik's Cube, she must find something related to the Rubik's Cube to be sure that it is the correct clue.

Soon, Jian Xiao put down her notebook and continued to search for other places.

It took her a long time to search every corner of the indoor shelves, and after making sure that there were no clues related to herself, she turned her gaze to the outside.

There are small stalls outside.

Just like different game facilities in the playground, there are a series of challenges such as shooting games and ring games. As long as the challenges are successful, you can get prizes.

Jian Xiao concentrated on looking for clues about "Leaf".

At this time, two people walked together and came to the Empire Convenience Store. Looking at the number plates hanging on their chests, they were number 59 and number 77.

When the two saw Jian Xiao, they stepped forward and tried to say hello to her.

Before speaking, the two of them looked at each other, as if they were conveying some news with their eyes.

Jian Xiao had a panoramic view of everything, and a sense of vigilance surged in her heart. In this game that no one can believe, every slight movement may be a sign of elimination.

Now that she was on guard, Jian Xiao kept an eye on the two of them.

Number 59 opened his mouth and said:
"On the 9th, we have a side mission that requires cooperation. I wonder if you can join? If the side mission is completed, you will be rewarded according to the contribution rate."

For two days, Jian Xiao hasn't triggered a single side mission.

It's just that before at the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Investigation Team, someone set out to find the side mission of the traitor, which also required cooperation, but no reward was mentioned.

Then, the reward in mouth 59 is very intriguing.

Jian Xiao remained calm and asked:

"What side mission?"

"Looking for the traitor." No. 59 said, "We need three people to break through the checkpoint. As long as the checkpoint is successful, we can get clues about the traitor."

No. 77 immediately opened his mouth to explain:

"The three of us may have different camps, but the clues of the mole are common."

"Knowing who the traitor is, it is possible that we can get an ally lurking in other camps, or we can find out the spies from this camp."

"So, I think it is necessary for us to cooperate. What do you think on the 9th?"

Jane Xiao: ...

She now fully suspects that this game is targeting her.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that she met two people who triggered side missions in a row, all of them were looking for the traitor.

And she herself is a traitor.

What she doubted even more now was whether there was only one side mission in the audience.

Otherwise, why did the last side mission to find the traitor require three people to break through, and it's the same this time?
The audience in front of the screen was overjoyed:

——Hahaha Sister Xiao was invited to find a mole every time, but it turned out that the mole was herself!
——Miss Xiao, just follow along. In the past two days, I haven’t seen a few side quests triggered. You only met two!
——If you don’t cooperate with the investigation team, you can cooperate with these two people!They don't know each other's camp, so they don't have any worries!
——Wait for Sister Xiao to choose!

……

Jian Xiao was really considering whether to agree or not.

As the audience on the bullet screen said, she refused to agree at the headquarters of the investigation team because everyone was almost sure to be in the same camp.

Among the six people at that time, besides herself, she was not sure if there were any other traitors, but the number of traitors should be a small number.

If clues to the traitor are found, players from the same faction are very likely to join forces.

But now it's different.

No. 59 and No. 77 may not be in the same camp, and there is a much greater chance that it can work. Even if they are in the same camp, just two people, Jian Xiao can still find a way to solve it.

The Imperial Convenience Store will not run away here, and the clues will not be taken away by others.

But side missions can be encountered but not sought after, and she also wants to know what the so-called traitor clue is and whether it will point to her.

Thinking of this, Jian Xiao nodded:
"Okay, I'll go with you to do side missions, where are you going now?"

"We have a map here." No. 59 said, "We must first go back to the location where the side mission was triggered before, and then find the location of the checkpoint according to the prompts on the map."

"Then let's go." Jian Xiao was very straightforward.

Under the leadership of No. 59, the three of them went all the way to a strange place.

Jian Xiao found that the road she had traveled at this moment was a field she had never stepped on, let alone a field that she had never explored.

Therefore, she took the Imperial City Convenience Store as a starting point, recorded this road, and added it to the map she had drawn before.

When the three of them arrived at their destination, her map improved a little.

The place where the side mission is triggered on No. 59 is a short house, which looks like a folk house, and it is not rich.

The furniture and furnishings in the house are very old, and there are not many things.

It can only be seen from some details that a family of three lives here, such as the cigarettes on the table, the cross-stitch in the frame, and the children's toys on the ground, representing men, women and children respectively.

"This is where I triggered the side mission." No. 59 said.
